AI Summary
This bill removes the prohibition on the provision of coverage for abortions in any qualified health insurance plan that is sold or offered for sale through a health benefits exchange established or operating in Virginia. The existing law prohibited coverage for abortions in such plans, with exceptions for when the life of the mother is endangered or the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. This bill removes those restrictions, allowing for broader coverage of abortion services in Virginia's health insurance exchanges.
